    Summary

    Summer, 1950. James Potter arrives in Memphis, expecting nothing but heat and misery—until he meets Regulus Black. A boy with a voice like honey, eyes lined in kohl, and a dream too big for the place that’s trying to hold him down.

    They fall fast, reckless, like a song building to its final note. But in Memphis, love like theirs comes at a price. And summer was never meant to last.
